I have a new look at life....I am now a mother and a wife! When I first came here about a year ago I was here for myself, I was ready for a change, not only to lose weight but to become fit and live a healthier lifestyle. Just like most 19 year olds I was eating a lot of pizza and burgers and chips and drinking nothing but soda and beer daily!

I have a new look at life....I am now a mother and a wife! When I first came here about a year ago I was here for myself, I was ready for a change, not only to lose weight but to become fit and live a healthier lifestyle. Just like most 19 year olds I was eating a lot of pizza and burgers and chips and drinking nothing but soda and beer daily! I had great friends that never made me feel out of place but then I started noticing my clothes gettingtighter, I was hiding from mirrors and cameras and finally I weighed myself and I was around 190! I had no idea!!! So I took control, I evaluated the situation and pretty much opened my eyes. I was about as unhealthy as it gets and it needed to stop now! Before it got out of control!

See I should have seen it coming...I have always been a little bit bigger then my friends and for the most part was confortable I thought! But then I realized I never wanted to be in pictures and the ones I did have I hid. I truely was self conscience and disgusted with myself just tried to look past it. My entire family were extremely obese and I guess i just looked at them when I was feeling down and that is how I made myself feel skinny. But the problem with that I had the same metabolism and as I got older and got comfortable with eating unhealthy I was in jepordy of becoming like them.

So since October of 2008 I have been constantly researching and trying to make better decisions. Again I don't only want to be thin I want to be healthy for me and my children. I want them to grow up being active and eating healthier and know how to live a healthier lifestyle. I don't want them to not be able to run around and play with tier mother because she is over wieght and sluggish because there is no excuse for that!!

My Program:
Have a combination of eating healthy and exercising. I am going to use the willpower I know I have and say no. I am going to have healthy snacks with me at times since all my friends are extremely skinny and love to eat out. I have to single myself out to truely do what will make me happy. for once I have to just think of ME, ME, ME!!!
